Our Babies aren't Babies Anymore!

We actually have children living in our house these days! Not babies, not toddlers, but children! It has been amazing to see the transformation in them over these past 3 months. Avery taking ballet, tap, and gymnastics, they are all going to preschool and loving it, and the depth/complexity of their discussions....they are officially "children!"

Needless to say, it sure has been fun around here! I thought the kids were really into exploring things when they were toddlers, but the grabbing, touching, tearing, eating, destroying, and asking questions is way more advanced now! Aaron put a flashlight in the toilet because he wanted to see the spider we flushed...When I told Adam that Jesus lives in our hearts, he responded, "Well, who put him there? We better get him out!"...Avery wants to collect every dandelion and rock in the whole yard.

Avery had her first dance performance on the square the first weekend in December. The child is NOT like me....she stood there and didn't move a muscle! She didn't dance, she didn't smile, and she just looked at everyone like they were crazy. That's when I realized that Avery really is slow to warm up to people and that she feels uncomfortable when there are lots of people around. She has been doing, what I thought, was a shy "act" for months, but apparently, she really does feel uncomfortable! Having said that, she got moved from the 2-3 yr old to the 3-4 yr old class in dance/gymnastics because she does so well! She just doesn't like that huge audience.

Here are some recent pictures of the trio:

Do I really have to do this?
